Horse Engine Shed, Barn And Stables On The West Side Of The Farmyard At Boningale Manor

A mid-19th century horse engine shed, barn, and stables forming a range on the west side of the farmyard at Boningale Manor. The buildings are constructed of red brick with plain tiled roofs. The horse engine shed has a half-octagonal plan and was originally open on its south and west sides. These openings are now infilled with 20th-century brick, with inserted windows, although a north-south access route remains to the west of the barn. The roof has a conical shape topped with a pointed wooden finial. The original machinery within the engine shed no longer survives. The barn has air vents in rows on its west side, featuring blind round-headed arches extending to the eaves, and a dentilated eaves cornice. It has four bays with a loft at the north end, and a wide entrance, now blocked and lowered, to the south on the west side. Attached to the south end of the barn are stables, also with a dentilated eaves cornice. Their west side has air vents in rows, and a blind arcade of three round-headed arches to the eaves, with inserted doors and windows. A wide entrance is located on the east side. The interior of the stables contains two former loose boxes, now subdivided into stalls, complete with racks and troughs. The barn and stables are included in the listing for their group value with the horse engine house.
